No Tests, quizzes, or Final exam. The class is pretty much all group papers and some individual stuff. Just show up and have a pulse and you will get an A in this class.

Professor Skomski was amazing. She treated everyone in class equally and she gave you class time to work on essays. She has a sense of humor and is very approachable. You are only allowed to miss three classes.

6 or so assignments, a few are small group projects. Pretty clear cut in what she wants although the material can be ambiguous at times.

Comment:

Skomski is a nice lady, but she grades often hard. Never gives 4.0s. Also, she doesn't explain the papers clearly, so you must ask questions. I went to her office hours often. You will be doing 3 major project each worth 20% of your grade. As well as many moodle assignments. Her assignment weren't hard, just hectic. I would recommend her

Comment:

Always made herself available to her students. Had her for WRT 150 and 160 and did well in both classes. Doesn't give out 4.0 often, but her feedback is very helpful and she's extremely sweet! She assigns reading from book, but really never used it...I highly recommend taking her, especially for an entry-level college course!

Comment:

Harsh grader, but leaves very helpful comments. She assigns readings but nobody touches the book. The questions about the reading are vague so you'll be fine. If you miss the class more than 3 times, it affects your actual class grade. Solid 6.5/7 out of 10.

Comment:

She is so helpful and nice. She will spend alot of time with a student giving advice on papers. Such a sweet lady. She is a bit of a tough grader. On the final paper just meet with her a couple times for reviewing your paper and you should do fine.

Comment:

She is a very nice lady but a very hard grader. She wanted things very specific and if you were not clear with your explanations then you got marked down. I also did not get much feedback at all on my papers.

Comment:

She is a very nice lady but she is a very tough grader. Some of her assignments are out of the book others are not. She is the type of teacher who likes to be so specific so when you are writing a paper or answering a question you need to be super clear.

Very nice lady, helped me a lot. She can be boring and will read out of the book. But I am sure that is what she is told to do somewhat. One of the best professors I have ever had though for sure. Make sure that you take her class.

Comment:

Very fair grader-doesn't take off points just because. When she corrects essays, she really shows you where you can do better in your work which is something to take out of the class. In other words, you benefit from the remarks she gives you. One of the best professors you will find. Take her!

Best English prof you will find! As long as she sees that you try your best, you will succeed. Very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and all around a nice woman. Topics covered are interesting current events. Would DEFINITELY recommend her just because she will make writing interesting!
